"In general, I do think Google has achieved its goals with the Tensor SoC. Just how good is this system, and how does it measure up to the competition beyond Google’s marketing bullet points? Andrei Frumusanu finds out: Under the hood of the Pixel 6 is an even bigger change, with Google’s Tensor Mobile chip taking over the system on chip duties. "The usual contrast, edge, and colour enhancements, plus noise reduction, but tastefully done and this is right up there with the better iPhones and Galaxies of this world, limited only by sheer sensor size and lack of a long periscope zoom system… focussing here is quick and good, colours are excellent throughout, zoom is limited but reliable, and night time shots need a little tapping to aid exposure, but results are not bad at all. Steve Litchfield takes a closer look at the Duo 2’s camera in the latest episode of The Phones Show: It disrupts the smooth lines, but it offers so much more practical support to the platform. One of the biggest changes is the camera.

The iPhone does better for some other categories, such as preview or autofocus."

The Pixel is ahead in terms of exposure and texture. Compared to one of its main rivals, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max, Photo and Zoom are on par but with different characteristics. Thanks to the introduction of the new 4x tele lens it also does very well in the Zoom category. “Overall the new Google phone delivers an outstanding Photo performance and great Video quality. One of the most well known is that from DXOMark, and its review is now live: Naturally that means a lot of camera comparisons and standalone reviews on that single system are under way. Google has put a lot of effort in to the camera and imaging systems on the Pixel 6 and especially on the Pixel 6 Pro. "The Galaxy S21 is expected to ship with a three-lens camera (32 megapixel wide-angle main, a 12 megapixel ultra wide, and an 8 megapixel telephoto) a 6.4 inch AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint reader."
